Australian Olympic athletes returning from Tokyo to South Australia via Sydney will be forced to undergo a double quarantine of 28 days, a mandate that has been described as"cruel and uncaring" by the country's Olympic Committee.
The athletes are currently undergoing two weeks of quarantine in Sydney as part of the country's travel rules. But those making the onward journey to their home state of South Australia will have to comply by restrictions on inter-state travel and complete an extra two weeks of quarantine in the South Australian capital of Adelaide.In a statement on Wednesday, the Australian Olympic Committee condemned the four-week quarantine for some of the team's athletes.
